The fight between the Ukrainian and the Briton will take place on May 17 in Hamburg, Germany.
British boxer Harry Scarff said that he was considering a fight with the Ukrainian Karen Chukhadzhyan as a starting point for a world title fight with Jaron Ennis.
“I hope the title fight happens pretty quickly and we don’t have to wait. The IBF is a good and quite strict governing body, so I’m sure that after the fight with Chukhadzhyan we will quickly do something.”
“Matchroom promoters are now really going to push Ennis. This could work for me when I’m in number one position after this fight. If everything goes well, it will serve me well.”
The fight between Scarff and Chukhadzhyan will take place on May 17 in Hamburg, Germany. Let us remind you that the event was originally scheduled for May 4 in Leverkusen. However, Wasserman Boxing, which represented Scarff, did not fulfill its obligations to organize the fight as specified in the fight contract, and the fight was rescheduled to another date and location.
Status as a mandatory challenger for the IBF welterweight world title will be on the line. Jaron Ennis holds the IBF belt in this category.
Let us remember that in January 2023, Chukhadzhyan lost the fight for the title of interim IBF champion to an American, but at the same time managed to hold out the entire distance against a formidable knockout, which few people had previously managed. After that, Karen scored two knockout victories – over Venezuelan Michael Marcano in April and over Italian Pietro Rossetti in October, retaining the IBF Inter-Continental welterweight belt.
Scarff, 30, scored a points win over compatriot Ekow Essuman in November to move up the IBF rankings.
